The Golden Invincible of Basketball - v4 Chapter 1395
The Pelicans had a training session on the game day, and many media reporters came to the venue.
After the training, they gathered for the first time.
As a former Lakers player, Durant is the main object of their interview.
Although Durant refused to interview most of the time, they did not give up trying.
I was pleased that Durant did not refuse this time.
“What do you think of the game tonight, you played for the Lakers last season, but now you are in the semifinals?”
“The Lakers’ lineup this season has not changed much from last season. Do you feel pressured against many former teammates?”
“You have never beat LeBron before, are you confident this time?”
Uh …
Reporters’ questions are like renju shells, one after another.
After Durant signaled one by one, he followed each one and answered.
“It’s cool, but fortunately I have experience in this area before.”
Durant’s confession made reporters laugh instantly.
They also feel that Durant has changed a lot from before, and has become a lot more mature.
“Psychological stress will definitely be there. I am familiar with them. They are familiar with me. The competition will be fierce.”
“I will try hard (beat LeBron), my friends tell me that this is my destiny, I believe in myself.”
But Dulan’s character has not changed, and he still speaks honestly.
Because Durant had previously disclosed that his “friend” was Tang Tian, the content of this interview also caused a lot of heated discussion.
At least the fans know that Tang Tian also sees Durant as a friend, they are on the same front.
This time, the game is more interesting.
That night, the second quarter of the Peking Lake War officially opened at the New Orleans Arena.
After the ceremony, the starting lineups of both sides have been released.
The Lakers over Simmons + Middleton + James + Randall + Horford.
Pelicans side Hollody + Durant + Ariza + Davis + Gasol.
Stevens changed this time, pushing Ariza to the start and pushing Durant to the second position.
扎 Ariza was in a good shape after reaching the Pelicans. This way, he can change the lineup and increase the lineup height. He can also compete with the Lakers.
Some old fans at the scene also felt very sorry to see this starting lineup.
Hollodi, Ariza, and Davis all appeared together in the starting lineup for the last time 5 years ago.
Durant as the top scorer, Gasol as the inside response axis, aside from strength, the roles of the two are similar to the original Tang Tian and Jokic.
阵容 This lineup is really full of memories.
try {mad1 ( ‘gad2 ‘);} catch (ex) {} The game will begin immediately, the two teams will start, and the live photographer will give James and Durant a split lens.
This scene is like the past, but the Pelicans have changed from Tang Tian to Durant.
James has a serious expression. If Tang Tian retires and he still can’t win, let alone Tang Tian and Jordan, Kobe’s rear lights can hardly catch up.
Durant’s expression is also very serious, as Tang Tian said, this may be his only chance to change his own destiny.
The referee whistle sounded, Gasol returned the ball to the Pelicans halftime, and officially opened the game.
一 At the beginning of the game, James was in a brave state, and the Lakers quickly took the initiative on the field.
相比 Compared to the Rockets, the Lakers’ internal strength is significantly stronger, coupled with James’s occasional defense, Davis has limited play space.
Durant was entangled by Middleton and Simmons.
Last season, due to Tang Tian, Middleton was extremely embarrassed because of Tang Tian.
But that’s Tang Tian. He has good offensive and defensive ends at both ends against other people.
Coupled with Simmons’ quick defense, Durant was also stunned.
At the end of the third quarter, the Lakers led the Pelicans by 85 points to 70 points, with great hope of winning.
James contributed 27 points, 7 rebounds and 7 assists in three quarters.
However, neither the Davis’ 17 points, 8 rebounds, nor Durant’s 19 points and 4 rebounds did not show their strength.
What’s more terrible, the substitute section of the three or four quarters, the Lakers’ bench played bravely.
When the main players from both sides returned, they extended their lead by 90 to 75 to 15 points.
With only 7 minutes left until the end of the game, the Pelicans have little hope of reversing.
And the first game of the series has a great impact on the morale of both sides. Those who have won not only gain the first victory, but also morale and confidence.
天 Tang Tian’s expression on the stand was also helpless.
The Lakers’ lineup does not look as good as last season, but it is more reasonable. In addition, Simmons has a certain three-point threat and is not as good as last season.
If he can win the Pelicans on the field, Durant has already played very hard, but it is still almost.
But when he saw the lineup of both sides, he suddenly opened his eyes and felt that there was still a little chance.
Stevens final lineup has changed from before, he replaced both Gasol and Ariza, Brogden and Kuzma.
This is a big, small and small lineup, and it is very offensive.
If this is described as a war, this is the feeling of the final charge.
The first wave of charge after I came back, Durant took the ball directly to James, without hesitation.
try {mad1 ( ‘gad2 ‘);} catch (ex) {} James is in place, but there is a gap between the speed and Durant after weight loss.
When Durant broke into the free-throw line, a large loop swelled and flung him away to hit the ball.
There was cheering at the scene.
Durant’s charge style is very hot.
James controlled the ball to the frontcourt. He did not force it, but signaled to let Randall put on a pick and roll.
After dismantling, he directly forced Kuzma and made a layup, which caused the latter’s foul.
Tang Tian saw this and felt that if the Pelicans lost this year, it would not be wrong, James was really calm this year.
I knew that the weak point of the Pelicans’ lineup was Kuzma, and they found it immediately.
The idea is very good, but unfortunately his free throws are a bit stable, and he makes a solid two free throws.
Davis defensive rebounds.
14 points difference.
兰 Durant ran without a ball, crossed the screen with Kuzma, and took a three-pointer from Davis’ pass.
“唰!”
I have it!
11 points difference!
There was a cheer on the scene ~ www.mtlnovel.com ~ Tang Tian also reached out and applauded, Durant’s 5 consecutive points were very hard!
I ca n’t but look back and James broke Kuzma again, this time scoring directly.
差 points difference returned to 13 points.
Kuzma did not make a three-pointer on the perimeter, and James broke through and was not disturbed by Davis.
Davis’ attack on the basket was also destroyed by James. James broke Randall. Unfortunately, the latter’s close-range play also came out of the box.
Both teams have strengthened the cooperative defense rotation, and have not scored for several consecutive rounds.
The Pelicans did not play in the frontcourt, and there was not much time left to attack.
There was a restlessness on the spot, and now the Pelicans are behind. The more stalemate, the less chance of reversal.
Durant wants the ball to face James at the last moment, and signals his teammates to pull away.
Shake to change direction, stop three-pointer, Durant’s technical moves in one go.
However, James’ defense was in place, and finally saved to interfere.
There was a pause in Durant’s air, and James’ hand hit him.
Other people lose balance and fall to the ground.
The referee whistle sounded to signal James’ foul.
“唰!”
After that, he hit the rim before shooting.
3 + 1!
The scene was quiet and then exploded directly.
Durant, who was pulled up by Davis, bared his chest and roared excitedly.
This scene really looks like the three-headed, six-armed outstretched in the animation of “Nezha”.
I control my own life!
